Hi Baerbel, Yes, it was I that posted the question. This explains why I couldn't find the duplicate church records. Thank you so much for your help. Hope you're keeping cool!

It doesn't sound familiar. At any rate, The records were probably online a year or two ago when FamilySearch first started putting up church record images. Brandenburg parish register Duplicates were among them. However, those were pulled last year after our legal people decided that the images were not displayed with watermarks as required by the contract. And so they are not online now. Eventually they will be put up again when the department's technology has been improved so it can handle these requirements. For the time being, only indexes from Brandenburg are found on the FamilySearch site, no images. I have seen, however, that Ancestry now has these Brandenburg Duplicates on its site. I guess they negotiated with the state archive there for digital rights. Title: Brandenburg, Germany, Transcripts of Church Records 1700-1874. Thomsdorf is there, also a few years from Klaushagen and Hardenbeck. Couldn't find Templin Lutheran. I hope this helps. Baerbel
